Description Here is the first tutorial in a set of Paint Tool SAI tutorials that I am making. I thought that a settings tutorial would be the best to post first, as I will refer to this tutorial in future tutorials.

I hope I explained everything well. Please let me know if you have any suggestions.

WOW! Thank you so much for the daily deviation!!! It is quite an honor! Thank you!!!

Unfortunately, I think the color and brush palettes have fixed amounts that can't be changed. Sorry.
Perhaps in the future there will be an update that allows more.
Let me know if you have any more questions.

To add pressure sensitivity to a stroke, make sure that the Size setting is checked in Advanced Settings. I hope that answers your question.
If you have any more questions, just let me know.

Thanks for the tutorial. I find it hard to get tutorials that aren't just videos of somebody painting a picture with no real explanations. I'll definitely refer back to this.
Time to see what other tutorials you've got!

PLEASE READ!!!

Ok so I just got Paint Tool Sai. I've come to notice that many artists, when they make a stroke, the stroke ends with a fine tip. Im not talking about line work layer stuff. I'm talking about basic drawing in pen or ink pen. It's been killing me trying to figure out how to do this. Please answer!!!

Although I don't use paint tool sai, I'd assume they have their brushes set to 'pressure thickness' or some variation there of, which works with most wacom (that's the only kind I know for sure) tablets. You just have to install the plug-in.

I'm so sorry for the late reply. But to answer your question, to add pressure sensitivity to a stroke, just check the Size setting in the advanced settings. I hope that answers your question. If you have any more questions, just let me know.

Pixelmata In reply to gangsterbunnygb [2012-09-13 12:58:41 +0000 UTC]

I posted it as a SWF file. That's a Flash file format. Fortunately, DeviantART allows these types of formats.
